Shrimp and Crits

Fiction & Audio Drama

About

Shrimp and Crits is an actual play podcast with a southern twist currently playing Ironsworn by Shawn Tomkin for our second season. Come nestle down by the fire and swap stories with us about the Skywaymen, the closest thing the world of Dania has to heroes anymore. Follow Cel, Cord, and Gree as they work for crumbs while traveling this old cursed world, all the while searching for their meaning out among the stars. Join us for this rustic fantasy journey through a folksy world of sky islands, poison fog, and many buried years of history.
